Net Neutrality

At the end of the days its still TRUMP 2020

Lol I'm not laughing I'm just nihilistic I know that's what's a realistic possibility. I think (too lazy to look for article) the UK already kind of does it, if I'm not mistaken.

Until some religious group (evangelicals) gets offended enough and wants all porn throttled and wont allow pay packages.

Don't laugh. Evangelicals account for 33% of the US population and 81% of them voted for Trump and support him unconditionally. King Doritos will do anything to keep their support. Including calling Jerusalem the capital of Israel (which he did last week) and why not banning what creates most of the the internet traffic : free porn. ;-)

So, maybe I'll get with friends and pool up money and just jerk off at their house.

So i’ll just have to buy the pornhub package

they're enabled to.



the best analogy i can make is- you know how comcast or whoever your cable provider is has packages that they charge you for if you want to watch certain channels?



your ISP can do that with the internet now.

So if i understand this correctly. They are charging money to visit certain sites? Christ sakes i wont even be able to blow my load with out having to pay for it.

Tis a sad day.

ThatOneEuroE30, I think that might be the very beginning.

The internet is a tremendous, unmatched, resource that allows people across all lines to communicate. Giving corporations the ability to freely restrict certain websites (reddit pops into my head immediately) does not have a happy feeling associated with it.

Just remember, no one actually cares about keeping this law - Ajit Pai

It's okay... they've got a guy that can take care of this.

Considering who their previous CEO was, I doubt anything will come of it either.

I'm curious to see what's going to happen when EVERYONE is using a VPN.

They will do what they have done in the past and start blacklisting VPN providers.

Verizon is still technically under Title II and it's laws so this could get interesting.

Though after reading the article it seems to only affect mobile devices... I'm curious to see what's going to happen when EVERYONE is using a VPN. We all know how much the security agencies will love that.

This right here is insane:

The governments commission on Internet changes didn't document the biggest DDoS they have ever encountered? More like it didn't happen. Especially considering their ISP is noted for having survived many huge DDoS attacks in the past.

A quick Google shows they were not even down that day;

Even more obvious evidence was posted by this user on reddit:

At this point its pretty obvious Ajit Pai still works for Verizon, and by extension the rest of the big name ISPs.
